Will it ever happen now. :scream: My favorite enterprise.
 
It looks skinnier than a Somalian refugee.

Oh right, this was from "Enterprise". Probably best ignore everything that happened in that show.

We can't. It's the only thing that's in current timeline! :scream:

I like it (if you forget the official underside). But those windows still make absolutely no freaking sense to me.

I think it is multi- dimensional. ie it transwarps thru 5d space and appears flat in 5d space as a 3d object in 4d time would.
:lol: I didn't understand a word you said.

So you mean like a TARDIS? Makes sense. But then, why bother with the saucer at all?

Yea true that. The events in ENT are the only things we CAN be certain about in this new alternate timeline. Of course in the ENT timeline Zephrim's first warp flight had Riker and Jordi on board. :)

So really, this timeline still require the exsistance of the previous timeline.
 
We do have to admit that as much as we can debate canon (see other thread), it is a shakkle when it comes to federation starship design. They're just not that good looking.

Cause it justs looks damn cool. :) Why multi-demensional? because J was fighting the sphere builders that were trying to take over our spacetime.

What I actually meant was that it appears flat in 6d space just as strings are flat in our 3+1 Spacetime. (string theory). The federation likely had to develope such technology to stop the sphere builders from taking over our spacetime continuum.

The sphere were actually hypershperes; ie a hypersphere is to a sphere what a sphere is to a circle.

Yes not unlike the good doc. :)
 
I like the J too... Personally, I wonder what's going to happen with the Excelsior, Ent B, C, and D.

Things could go in a different direction.
 
what will happen to spider barclay?

Thats it, as of this day I'm starting the "Save the Spider Barcley" fund raiser. Donations of gold pressed latinum can be sent to Paramount with a stern letter saying we want SB to appear in the next movie.

That's what I'm talking about!

You've got to have the good with the bad in Star Trek. It can't all be cool shit. We need to save "Threshold" too
 
The Enterprise J was part of the timeline that led from Riker and LaForge being on Cochrane's test flight up to the quantum probability that Crewman Daniels was native to. That probability, as we saw, got whacked. Thus, no Enterprise-J as we (sorta) know it exists in that future of the Archer depicted on Enterprise. Much less the exit ramp of probabilities generated by Nero and the Narada entering the timeline in 2233.

However - form frequently follows function, so if there was a good functional reason for the -J to look like it does, it or something very similar will emerge at some point. And, Archer saw the ship, and most likely included its design in his reports to Starfleet Command, increasing the probability that that specific design will be examined for utility by Starfleet.

Not to mention that there are any number of probable futures for that version of Archer that, while not the exact one that Daniels came from, are only the barest measure of different from it.

I'd say if anything, the odds are good that we'll see a similar ship developed earlier than it originally was. If "originally" means anything in a discussion of multiple probability states. ;)

Going meta for a moment, I'd also have to say it is more likely that we'll see something like it again, since future artists coming up with stuff for Trek will have it to look at, whereas they didn't before. :techman:
